Perry introduced the plan and tried to ramrod it through over something in the neighborhood of six years. While there did seem to be considerable initial support for the project, people and businesses licking their chops at the prospect of government big project funds, there also seemed to be considerable objections as well. In truth this didn’t bother some folks. They saw it as nothing more than a new highway system, although I don’t think they grasped the full scope of it. Again this didn’t sit well with some citizens on a number of issues. Big government project, land rights, implications of jobs moved to Mexico and beyond, contraband smuggling drugs/illegals. Perry couldn’t shake support for the idea until most of the
other stake-holders had jumped ship.
In fairness, ask a Perry supporter and you’ll get a rosy telling. While that is fair, I don’t think it’s unfair to mention that the Clintons always had a rosy telling for everything they did too.
There will be a grain of truth in what they say, but you’ll have to look around yourself and ultimately come to your own conclusion.
Every politician makes bad decisions. It’s part of the job.
Palin quit on the People of Alaska.
Ask Palinistas, and you;ll get a rosy explanation.
Ask a Lib, and they’ll say she got rich after quitting.
The truth...somewhere in the middle.
That’s politics.
I want to hear your rosy telling of why Sarah ran on a ticket with John McCain.
Thanks, DoughtyOne.
Appreciate your reply.
